Hello. This is Midoriya Izuku for those of you who don't know me well. I've been talking with a few people, and it seems that while newly minted gods often get somebody to guide them through their arrival, shinki aren't so lucky.

I think it would be good if we could compile a resource for newly arrived shinki. There's no reason they need to be so confused upon their arrival.

As I'm not a shinki, I don't know everything that should go into it. Could those who are please say what they would have liked to know earlier?

Thank you for your time.

Whether he was dead or not back home doesn't mean anything. Maybe he died after you left, or maybe he's from another timeline where he did die. That's interesting to know, though. Make that six shinki-turned-gods total.

So the bodies are probably long gone by now. That's too bad. [if he knew sooner he could snoop on the area with clairvoyance, but alas. another date to tack on the timemachine schedule, perhaps.] If they were individuals with a lot of friends someone would've mentioned their absence by now... but I'm surprised that there hasn't been any public statement on this at all. What reason would they have to withhold information if it was a death caused by normal means?

[So there must be something weird about it? He has no idea what that could be, though...]

If there are different worlds then the possibility of different timelines isn't impossible. [Even if he does wish they were. Just how many of his friends have died?]

I heard they had "Down with Amaterasu" carved into them. I doubt it was a normal death, with all the chaos going on maybe they don't want to acknowledge that they're not as in control as they're supposed to be.

[don't worry, Izuku, everyone is inching eternally towards death and he's sure there are just as many worlds where you've died for them instead!!

But educating anyone on alternate universes and dimensional travel doesn't seem all too important compared to the other half of that reply.]

Do we know for certain if these gods/shinki were natives or outsiders? [because if it's the latter, that's kind of a huge deal...]

[He would rather be the one who died if it meant all of his friends didn't. Can't change worlds you aren't in though so he'll leave that thought for now.]

I haven't heard anything definitively one way or another. It's not like people were allowed close enough to check either.

Perhaps someone should be asking the Heavens more directly, then.

If these enemies of Amaterasu are going to be taking their anger out on other gods, that absolutely concerns us. We have nothing to do with her problems.

The person most likely to answer questions is Suijin.

We're all stuck in the Heaven's together. Even if we didn't have anything to do with it before, we do now. Or at least whoever's targeting her might think so. It's hard when we can't grasp a solid motive and she seems just as lost as us.

I'd rather not get involved in something that's not my business, but if that involvement is going to be forced on us I'd like to know.

Suijin it is. Do you know the best method of contacting them?

[Private]

[fullcowl]

If she contacts you with a request? Sometimes she's at the Meeting Hall.

I've seen her on the BBS once, but that's about it.
